The Missing Manual

Dokapon Kingdom desperately needs a manual. This guide will give you the info on things like stats, character advancement, basic gameplay concepts, etc.

Much of this guide's info is taken from the game's Fandom wiki.

Here's a link to the Dokapon Discord server, I'll update it when I can:

Thanks to Tutturu, MechaMarshmallow and Blue Yoshi for their corrections.

How you Win & Turn Order

Win Condition

• In Story Mode and Normal Mode, have the greatest Net Worth at the end of the number of weeks you're playing for.
  
• Otherwise, your objective will be specified at the start of the game.

Turn Order

When everyone has taken their turn, one day passes. Weeks are seven days long. Stores do not open on Sundays, and the gold value of some things is multiplied by the number of weeks that have passed. When a new week starts, a weekly event might happen.

Towns, Castles & Net Worth

Towns

Towns are the lifeblood of Dokapon's gameplay loop.

If you liberate a town by killing the boss that occupies it, you "own" it. The town will generate taxes every day which you can collect at bank and collection spaces (the blue spaces with a big G on 'em).

A town's owner can invest in the town, raising it's daily taxes and net worth, from the town itself or from bank spaces.

If you stop at a town, you can rest at it to restore your HP. This will give money to whoever owns the town. You can also attempt to rob the mayor.

When a town's rank has been increased enough through investment, it will generate Local Items. Local Items are highly valuable.

Castles

Castles are towns with a few key differences.

Castles are granted by the king if you do favors for him in Story Mode, given at random in Normal Mode, and earned by killing bosses in Battle Royale.

You can only invest in castles locally, not at banks.

The value and taxes of castles is not only determined by your investment, but the value of liberated towns on their continent!

Castles generate gems, a special kind of Local Item which increases in value as you invest in the castle.

Net Worth

Net Worth is the total value of the assets you own.

The obvious assets are your current cash and the value of your current inventory. These will only make a minor contribution to your real Net Worth in most games.

Towns and castles will make up most of your Net Worth. The value of both in increased through Investment, and the value of castles is also raised as described in the Castles section.

Local Items generated by towns can be gifted to the king to "bank" them as Net Worth. Their Net Worth is FAR greater than their selling price, but beware, the king doesn't like everything!

Spaces

Battles

Battles in Dokapon follow a simple formula.

Attack is a basic attack.

Strike is an attack with incredible damage, usually killing the opponent in a single hit, but is countered by Counter. High-risk.

Defense will defend against any physical attacks (Attack and Strike).

Counter will counter-strike if the opponent uses Strike, otherwise you take full damage.

Your magic defense ability (M. Guard to start) will defend against whatever offensive magic the opponent carries, but you'll take full damage against anything else.

Death

When you die, you will remain dead and unable to act for a certain number of turns and a negative effect will be incurred. This is determined randomly:

If Cherubs appear, you will be forced to wait for 1 turn, and lose an item or a quarter of your money.

If black-haired angels appear, you will need to wait for 2 turns, and will lose half of your money, a few items, or get pranked.

If the Grim Reaper appears, you will need to wait for 3 turns, and may lose all of your money, all items, a piece of equipment or a Town.

Character Stats

AT (Attack)

Strength is factored into how much damage your weapon does in battles.

DF (Defense]

Defense reduces the damage you take from weapons. Saves you from about 1.2 damage per point.

MG (Magic)

Magic functions as an attack bonus and defense bonus to battle AND field magic.

SP (Speed)

Speed affects your ability to land hits with attacks and magic, and your ability to dodge both as well. The difference between your stat and the enemy's seems to matter more than it's actual value. Has more "swingy" effects on field magic. Speed ALSO effects the damage dealt by Strikes, making it an extremely valuable stat.

HP (Hit Points)

How much damage you can take before you die. Duh. Each point grants you 10 HP.

Magic

Magic in Dokapon comes in three forms, Offensive Magic, Defensive Magic, and Field Magic.

Your options on the Triangle / Y button in Battles ALL count as Offensive or Defensive magic. These are equipped like weapons.

Field Magic is a type of consumable item, used on the board, which is affected by your MG and SP stats just like other kinds of magic.

Magic can inflict all sorts of status aliments. I'll let Dokapon's manual do the talking:

Jobs

Jobs are Dokapon's character classes. Each job grants different stats when the job levels up, has an affinity for particular weapons, battle abilities (on square or X), and a unique field ability. You'll also have a particular inventory limit for items and field magic.

Leveling a job fully will grant you one stat point per level up for the rest of the game, so switch jobs after mastering them!

Jobs grant you a weekly salary which increases with your job level, and you can earn 3x bonus pay for completing your job's bonus goal!

Unlike your character level, which increases with XP gained, job levels increase for every seven battles fought. So don't feel shy about fighting weak monsters!

A class's "starting stats" are lost / gained when jobs are changed. The other stats you gain when leveling are kept.

Character level will be represented with "Lv. X", while Job level will be represented with "Level X".

[Ruruzari]

Re Predictions: basically, each combo of actions -> what outcome. The redder the face, the lower HP the target is left with, and a white face is death. I should also mention it doesn't account for Skills (ex. Sneak Hit, Power Poke, etc) and Dodge/Accuracy. It also has issues with predicting Banish since any Def Magic prevents the instakill effect, but it predicts death regardless.
Re Ninja Stuff: the Salary Bonus is indeed still "Attacked a Store". There's also a mistake on the Field Skill line, which should be Item Combo - can use 2 items in 1 turn.
Hope this helps!

[TreeSpawned]

Ninja Bonus Pay should be Attacked a Store, atleast that's what it was in the original game, they might have changed it.

[TheA1ternative]

Could you have a section on how the prediction system works? I'd definitely be opening a manual trying to figure out how that works as even right now I'm still confused.

[Raiseo]

Thanks for this guide, just got the game and the information is just right to not go over to spoiler territory.

[Narcissu7F]

that mean HP better than DEF right ?

[Mr. Steal Your Gun]

Good to know, thank you! I don't want this to turn into a "strategy" guide or to reveal too much about the game for new players but that's just good info to have.

[Fantaken King]

It should absolutely be mentioned that speed affects your damage with strike button. This is one of the major reasons why the strike button is considered the "win" button in exactly kingdom while its toned down in other games like world.

It should also be mentioned that defense only stops 1.2 damage per point while each point in hp gives 10 hp which is around x8 more efficient. I get that it isn't a guide but if we are mentioning exact class stats, then saying what those stats do is kinda important imo.

[Mr. Steal Your Gun]

Yeah you're both correct, updated

[MechaMarshmallow]

Are you sure the winner of story mode is the player with most cash? In the ending cinematic, the king ranks you by your total worth

[CriminalPancake]

Jobs level up after 7 battles not 6, good guide though
